Mixx vs. The Alternatives

Why our model delivers more value, better talent, and less friction—without the compromise.

There are plenty of ways to get marketing support—freelancers, recruiters, agencies, marketplaces. But each comes with trade-offs. Mixx was built to remove all of that.

Here’s how we compare.

Vs. Recruiting In-House

Hiring Directly:

Takes 8–12 weeks to recruit and onboard
£60k–£100k+ annual salary, plus benefits and overhead
Hard to scale up or down without renegotiating contracts
Doesn’t come with tools, design support, or channel expertise
Risk of a bad hire or cultural misfit
Fixed headcount with limited flexibility

Mixx:

Live in 2–5 days with no hiring delays
From £950/month with no hidden costs
Scale support up or down anytime
Comes with expert tools, design services, and tactical delivery
Vetted talent matched to your brief and industry
No long-term commitment or HR burden

Vs Consultants or Freelancers

Consultants & Freelancers:

Vary wildly in quality, pricing, and reliability
Limited availability or stretched across too many clients
Often need your direction, briefs, and tools to get going
No built-in design or tech support—you pay extra or source it yourself
Difficult to scale or cover multiple skill sets without juggling people
Risk of inconsistent delivery or disappearing mid-project

Mixx:

Vetted experts matched to your goals, sector, and task priorities
Reliable, structured support with clear processes and timelines
Comes fully equipped with top-tier tools and creative support
One subscription, one point of contact, no juggling
Built to flex with your business—scale up or down as needed
Fully managed experience, with quality control baked in

Vs Marketplaces such as Upworks, Fiverr etc.

Marketplaces:

You do all the searching, vetting, briefing, and chasing
Quality is hit or miss—and often depends on your ability to manage freelancers
No long-term support or accountability
One skill at a time—need multiple freelancers to cover strategy, content, design, etc.
Pricing might look low but adds up fast with revisions, delays, or extra requests
You’re the project manager (and the quality checker)

Mixx:

We match you with the right expert, already briefed and ready to go
Consistent, high-quality delivery from vetted senior marketers
Ongoing support with strategic input and tactical output
One person who gets it done—plus built-in tools and design support
Simple monthly subscription with no surprise costs
You stay focused on your business—we handle the marketing delivery

Vs Marketer Hire, Mayple etc.

MarketerHire & Mayple:

High minimum spend—often $5K/month+ for basic support
Limited access to creative services or integrated tooling
Focused on talent matchmaking, but execution often still needs managing
Feels like a platform, not a partner—less personal, more transactional
Add-ons like design, lead gen, or content often cost extra
Global pool, but not always matched to your local market or budget

Mixx:

Built for small to mid-sized B2B businesses with more accessible plans
Comes with expert marketers and the tools to get the job done
Includes built-in design, content, campaign support, and more
Feels like a true extension of your team—not just a talent pool
Fully flexible subscriptions, no fixed contracts or surprise costs
UK-led service with global reach and region-specific expertise
